Aaron Boone defended Aaron Judge's desire to quickly recover from his calf strain in order to return for the Yankees' playoff games. Despite initial disagreement over when Judge might be ready—Boone was skeptical while Judge aimed for Game 1—the manager emphasized their strong relationship and supported Judge’s effort, describing it as passion rather than frustration. Boone also noted that roster decisions will likely wait until Tuesday morning before the playoffs begin, giving Judge more time to recover if possible.

Story summary
Aaron Judge, star outfielder for the New York Yankees, is dealing with a "moderate" strain in his calf's soleus muscle after sustaining an injury during gameplay. Manager Aaron Boone announced this injury grade publicly despite Judge’s usual reluctance to discuss injuries. This disclosure led to some disagreement between Judge and Boone over how much attention should be given to the severity of the injury, with Judge seemingly unhappy that details were shared without his input.
Boone later explained that while he initially said it was unlikely for Judge to play in upcoming playoff games, Judge expressed a desire to return by Game 1. The manager emphasized that despite their differing views on handling the situation, they are aligned in wanting what is best for Judge's health and for the team’s performance going forward.

Both superstar and manager have emphasized this week that Judge is doing everything in his power to build up quickly and be ready for a three-game series that almost certainly will be against the Red Sox, but Judge — who received a platelet-poor plasma injection Monday — is still limited barely a week after suffering the injury.
